From a 1989 article about King County Judge Gary Little, a child rapist, whose crimes many in the establishment knew about for years, but chose not to expose:
"Ultimately, it came down to questions of human judgment," ... "There were repeated failures of judgment by all the major decision makers. There was poor judgment on the part of the commission, prosecutor and news media."More on Little here and here. The prosecutor then, as now, was Norman Maleng.
It helps put my previous post in clearer context and suggests that the mutual backslapping fest including Maleng, McKay and the editorial boards, celebrating the refusal to investigate election crimes, is just the way certain folks in the local establishment like to do business. Aspects of Seattle's questionable past seem to live on.

Posted by: jimmie-howya-doin on March 22, 2007 01:51 PMIt's good to see that you actually read my post and did some research on Gary Little.
Now how about looking into my recall of Gregoire case that the WA SC, Sam Reed, Rob McKenna, and the media have been hiding?
I believe Justice Bobbe Bridge may have been a superior court judge with Gary Little.
If the power structure was willing to allow little boys to be raped by Gary Little, is it any surprise to you that those same people and their kind would attempt to deny me my constitutional right to due process. This also includes Rob McKenna.
When you finish reading the documents in WA SC Case No. 77345-9 - In Re the Recall of Christine Gregoire, you will see exactly why they are hiding the case from the public. If you want, I can email the briefs to you - AGAIN.
Stefan, the reality is that once the racketeering within the state supreme court and lower courts is exposed, every person who was on the wrong side of a contested case against the state or a political subdivision of the state is going to be entitled to a new trial or appellate review. In fact, it will probably force the feds to take control over the state courts. A problem is that the US Attorney's office and at least some of the judges in the Western District of Washington have had this information as well and have refused to take action. Same goes for the FBI office in western Washington; and I can prove it!!!
Since you are relatively new to Washington, you might want to also look up info about the Olympia Kiwanas Club Boys Ranch and Gregoire's role in insuring no one would be prosecuted in that case. I can send you a link to a site that has a lot of information about it. I do believe that at lest one member of the WA SC was a member of the OKC when this was going on.
Posted by: Don on March 22, 2007 02:31 PMcato, you politicking for troll status?
This is about corruption in government now. It is about the "good ole boy" network.
Not want to dance this one, so you change the subject?
Posted by: swatter on March 22, 2007 02:31 PMThe Washington/KingKounty/Seattle Bureaucratic Goo reminds me of the late-50's Steve McQueen thriller called THE BLOB. Does anyone remember that movie???
A mysterious jelly-like creature from another planet lands near a small town. This creature engulfs one person after another growing & growing & growing. The little town failed to take the creature seriously at first. As a result of the apathy, the creature grew to threaten the whole Earth!!!
After an incredible string of scarey attacks gobbling up person after person, McQueen finally figures out that the creature cannot stand cold. So McQueen proceeds to kill it by dousing it with CO2 (That ought drive the Algoraholics nuts!!!) from fire extinguishers.
Even scarier is the ending where the words THE END appear on the Big Screen and then morph into a huge QUESTION MARK, suggesting the Blob may return (which it does in the Sequel "BEWARE! THE BLOB").
Folks, we are facing THE BLOB. Unlike the one in the movie, our BLOB of "circle the wagons" bureaucratic goo cannot be stopped with CO2. It can ONLY be stopped with LIGHT...Sunshine...lots & lots of LIGHT!!!!!!!! Get it??
Stefan is the "shiner of the light". Everytime Stefan lifts up a manhole cover & shines a light, we see these cockroaches & rats scurrying around.
Keep shining the light on these folks. They can only function in the dark. It is the antidote.
God Bless you Stefan.
This is my greatest post.
The law firm of Davis Wright Tremaine is very politically connected. They hired Locke after he left office. They are represented Rossi in the election challenge yet failed to make any claims related to vote fraud when anyone with a pulse had very good reasons to believe there was vote fraud. Do you really think DWT wanted to win the case?
And just which law firm do you think represents most of the media in the state of Washington? think they might be giving advice to their clients, both liberal and conservative that further the interests of the power structure in the State of Washington.
Would be interested in knowing if they have KVI as a client. If so, that could explain why Carlson and Wilbur declined to cover my recall case against Gregoire.

In a job I had several years ago, I was forced to deal with people like you. They were called constituents and their files were kept in two, separate cabinets - regular and nutcase. Guess where yours would've been kept.
But yeah, Don. Everybody's in on it. They're all corrupt and out to get you. Booga booga.
Shut up already.
Posted by: jimg on March 22, 2007 05:09 PMNot to imply something here...but Geeze! Who knows anymore?
Posted by: Deborah on March 22, 2007 08:00 PMOMG, the burden of keeping you nutjobs from going viral gets heavier every day. Indeed, I fear it may be too late after Stefan's post, which virtually suggests that Norm Maleng, John McKay, and Sheriff Reichert have gang had-their-way-with younguns for years.
My advice to all of you: relax, take a breath, have some chai tea, remove the tin foil hat. Take a walk through the Arboretum. Admire a rainbow. Take a Democrat out for a beer. Use the brain god gave you.
Mark Foley (R-FL) drew a Congressional investigation because of emails/ text messages which he -- admittedly -- wrote. By contrast, mikey wants a Congressional investigation because of dots which StefanWorld inhabitants "Deborah", "Don", "swatter", and "Richard Pope" connect.
To my mind, that's a No Sale.
P.S. -- Bring your galoshes to the Arboretum. The unseasonably warm Winter has really muddied up the place.
Posted by: The Ump on March 23, 2007 01:24 AMWhat is there to hide The Ump???
Open the Files.
McKay answers questions.
Seems pretty simple to me.
Look the other way, and protect your colleagues in Government. And if the local flavor happens to lean left, well then you lean left. Who cares about ideology, justice or objective reality, they've got careers and nepotism to keep them focused.
I'm generally not in favor of term limits. But I think were going to have to do something to take the "career" out of government. A good first step would be to lower all government salaries across the board. You want real money? Go work in the private sector.
Posted by: Jeff B. on March 23, 2007 10:45 AMhowever, there too i've seen nincompoops parked & awaiting retirement for fear of "over 40" or other diversity-quota-type lawsuits & many connected but incompetent putz-es.
but--for the most part--it's survival of the fittest & the able and much leaner/results-oriented than government. harsh, but hey--that's life. don't we run our personal lives for results & no nonsense? why is govt different?
ideally, government would be a blend of both--some security, not a fat life, (it's 'public service,' remember?) yet much more accountability-perhaps like our early colonial years where most people had other landholdings/jobs/apprenticeships and added THAT practical experience to their TEMPORARY government roles.
